Get Well Dreamer
Sometimes we go through things that can really beat up our inner gypsy. We become over worked, tired and emotional. In many aspects of life work, study, social life, family life and just simply alone time can drain us. My inner gypsy is slumped on a chair in the corner, wondering if she’ll ever dance again.
For me, I over work myself. I take on more workload than I should, I try and maintain a social life and sleep. I forget that I need time to just sit and dream of running away. It is the last thing on my mind, and not because I don’t want to run away, but because I have no time to even be dreaming of such nonsense. My inner gypsy is crying as I write this. But sometimes the world stops, it slows down and we can remember why we do what we do. We remember that road trip we were planning, but never going to go on. And the fire in our souls starts to spark again.
Being in our twenties we don’t often take time to slow down. We try to cram in work, study, socials and family. Even sitting down to a Sunday dinner with the family can be tiring, and not because your mum keeps saying “You look tired.” Or “You should eat more!”. We need to take a moment to ourselves. a moment in which we aren’t thinking of a hundred things we forgot to do today, or should do tomorrow. we need to make sure our inner gypsy has enough energy to dance around our hearts and keep the fire inside us alive. We need our dreams to become plans, even if we never get there; not be pushed to the back of our minds for ‘when we have time’.
So, dreamers take a moment for yourself. Don’t think. Sit on top of a mountain, in a park, in the sunshine. Let the fresh air wash over you, and let your hair blow freely. Close your eyes and breathe. Slow down and let your inner gypsy get better. Let yourself feel in that moment. Reignite your fire and dream a little harder.
Keep Dreaming,
Queen Dreamer.
